Anybody tried halo halo story in Quezon ave?

BBM

Simple Line

worst - BDO

best - BPI

 

OT:

ano pa ba ang bank na katulad ng BPI na computerized pag magdedeposit? Hindi na kailangan ng deposit slip. Very convenient pag magdedeposit ng maraming cheke.

I have seen a similar system at Asia United Bank

This week I find it hard to call PLDT numbers using PLDT landline plus. Only calls to other landline network like bayantel can be connected.

Sir, Any update sa Sun SIMs?

Anybody selling sun cellular vanity sim?

Is this faster than Smartbro?

got a 2nd-hand globe visibility kit a month ago from ebay..ayos naman there are just certain days where down talaga pero download speed minsan umaabot ng 200kb/s (usually in the morning before 10-11am)..gripe ko lang kasi I can't use my own time-browsing-activated globe sim instead of the provided visibility sim ..yeah dun sa old globe sim ko na 128K nakaka-text ako sa laptop pero hindi ako maka-connect sa internet.. nung tumawag ako sa customer care sabi nila hindi raw pede ang ibang sim yung visibility lang daw..e tanong ko naman, "bakit hindi pede? e yung visibility sim nyo lumang 64 K lang na pinatungan lang ng sticker para magmukhang visibility sim..and dun sa postpaid sim ng utol ko pag pinasok sa flash stick ng globe nakakapag-internet kami?"..ang gago pinag-antay ako't irerefer daw ako sa technical..tagal naman ako naghintay pero hang-up ko na rin naiirita ako sa call hold nila..

 

Globe your customer care sucks big time!

This also happened to me when I was using my old prepaid sim in the visibility USB. I tried to visit their business center a couple of times and found out that old sim/mobile number's internet are not automatically activated. The activation will be done in their switch and took at least a week until I can use the internet. Good thing the customer service staff at Q. Ave and Trinoma are very patient in helping me solve this problem.

this may be going a bit OT ........ but based on some hearsay from elders.

 

When Mr. Sy was just starting out in the quiapo area, he asked the people at Mercury if he could take up (or rent) some of the drugstore's space for him to sell his wares. Mercury refused and Mr. Sy had to find a place for himself.

 

Eventually, When SM grew big, it was mercury's turn to apply for spaces in the malls...... and I think that Mr. Sy, still holding a grudge against the drugstore, also refused. (mr. sy even opened up his own drugstore)

As to the cinemas..... its been quite awhile since I've entered an SM movie house so I cant comment. These past year, its been mostly watching movies at Trinoma.

I have heard that one of Mr. Sy's first venture is a drug store that was forced to close down because of competition from a more stable Mercury Drug

To sell items on Henry's shelves in SM Supermarket you will need these

 

600,000 pesos - Product debut ... To allow your product to be sold in SM Supermarket ... Note this applies per SKU ...

Meaning if you pay 600K for your product of 1 litter packages ... you will pay another for your 500ml ones

 

80,000 pesos - for Gondola displays - Have you ever seen those Christmas displays of products on separate shelves?

This cost will only allow your gondola to stand for 2 weeks

 

5% cough it up during 3-day sales .... - or free stuff

Yes this is mandatory ... else magagalit si MR. SY

 

 

 

Terms of Payment to suppliers :

 

120 days

 

Bad orders are deducted automatically on the invoice... May angal ka?

I've also heard that payment to supplier will be deducted as sponsorship whenever they have branch anniversary.

globelines duo. difficult to call during daytime specially rush hours . on weekend nights, hard to call even if using duo to duo

Sir Atong Ang, Regarding the Globe Duo is it easy to make inter-network calls? What number will be reflected in the caller ID the cell number or landline number?

I'm using PLDT prepaid right now and it is hard to call Bayantel or Globe landline.

paki explain naman kung bakit tinaas nila yung monthly service fee ng PLDT wireless prepaid

 

from 300 pesos naging 500 pesos, Bakit po?

Ang alam ko 500 plan ay pumalit sa dating 600 plan. available pa din ang plan 300

Just to update

 

500 pesos na ang monthly prepaid service ng PLDT wireless landline

 

Bakit kaya nila ginawa ito? bad trip naman dati 300 pesos lang...

Ang alam ko 500 plan ay pumalit sa dating 600 plan. available pa din ang plan 300

sama naman ako sa SPA hehehe

just wondering, 3 credit cards (different banks) were delivered to me a few months back. I never activated them thou. I,ve heard from a banker friend that Ill be charge daw the annual fees regardless if I use them or not?

is this possible???

Better have the cards cancelled to avoid being charged the annual fees. I also experienced receiving 2 cards from different banks after one month I received the bill for annual fee. I have to call them one by one to cancel the cards and reverse the annual fee.

Does anybody know what cards offer an automatic increase in credit limit without being asked to do so? I have read in this thread that BDO does this. I also have heard of stories that HSBC also makes automatic increases.

Citibank usually increase the credit limit after 1 year. HSBC seldom increase the limit unless requested by the cardholder.

Its very hard to call talk & text subscriber using 0907 prefix. The system always says that the number is incorrect. But when using Sun phone it gets through immediately. I called their customer service hotline and I was told to complain to Smart instead since it is their number that I cannot call. Stupid customer care agent, she might have forgotten that I am a Globe subscriber and that she has to call the attention of Smart since I am paying my dues to Globe and not to Smart.

For me its still Jollibee, I love their longanisa meal

To 888-168, I saw on your list the provider of the sim card is Touch Mobile, is the provider a good one?

Sorry, I'm an expat staying here in philippines, so I'm not so familiar with the phone provider here. Is the signal strength good for that provider? As I know some particular provider will not have a good signal in some particular area.

The providers that is good as I know are only Smart & Globe? Or am I wrong?

Please enlighten me, thanks

Touch mobile is a brand of Globe telecom, they share the same network. Signal for touch mobile/globe is very good in Makati area.

Anyone selling PLDT landline plus prepaid with vanity number?

No I did not inform that I have a business nor that my father has a business that supports me. In fact, di pa ako nag apply kasi when I went to BPI, they just bluntly informed me that I need to show proof of employment or business. I know for a fact that when I do apply and get turned down, I might not be able to get one for a period of time that's why di pa muna ako nag aapply. I am just hoping that somebody out here knows somebody from BPI who I can explain my situation and maybe they can waive the requirements needed since I can prove to them that I am financially capable of payment and that I have a very good record with my east west credit card for the past 5 years. I do have a BPI account also that I even use to pay my bills just to prove that I am capable of making payments. Anyway, thanks for the response bro.

If you have an existing bank account with BPI with a ADB of 100K-300K you can ask the branch manager to give you a pre-approved card. Sometime last year they are agressively sending out as much as 3 card types to their clients. Although they sent me 3 cards they all share the same credit limit but seperate annual fees. With your good track record from your existing east west card I don't see any reason for your application to be denied. It is a requirement that you have a TIN and SSS Number. The proof of employment is optional as long as you are an existing client, you can easily fabricate this using your dad's company.

citibank sent me a platinum card....credit limit is only 130k++, not for anything else parang insulto sakin, my wife has a gold citibank card and her credit limit is around 300k....what give's????

I also received a platinum card from Standard Chartered and the limit was lower than the limit of my HSBC classic card. I plan to cancel it after the first year free annual fee.

really there are many establishment offering discounts with hsbc cards but as i found out only locally issued cards are allowed for discounts and offerings.. like if you go to hongkong only hongkong issued hsbc cards are honored for the discounts and offerings.. your experience might vary from mine... pero sana lahat nalang pwede para mas masaya

HSBC has a promo called "Home and Away" it offers discounts from partner establishments in the asia pacific region for their card holder. I saw it in their brochure and the list is also available in their website.

Metrobank sucks. They charge you 50 bucks for depositing into an account not belonging to their branch. Ito lang ang na-experience ko so far sa mga banks na nagkaroon ako ng transaction. I've deposited in different branches of BPI, PS Bank, HSBC, BPI-Family Bank, Union Bank and they didn't charge me anything for making a deposit to a non-branch account.

Is the account from their provincial branch? Banks usually charge us P50 for deposit up to P50,000 if we make a deposit to their provincial branches. Which is quite wierd since all their branches are linked to the same server and doesn't pass through any clearing house.

peach blossom yung malapit dati sa likod ng sm north.

I happen to pass by North Avenue last week and I still saw the Peach Blossom sign. I think they are still open
